Hi!

First of all thanks for all your awesome topics, guides, and tutorials!
I am a new member of this Forum and I really like the engagement people have.

I would like to share some photos of my first rep with you guys and I would like to hear some thoughts.
It is a 114060 v2 JF with spongebob mod bezel insert. Thanks to ChazingTime and Charlie!

That is beautiful! I am torn with which factory to go with or should I just buy from BK? Which movement did you get for this piece? Are there 904L bracelet for the 114060 reps? The more I read on this forum, the more confused I get. There are a lot of pros and cons and you'd have to just sacrifice one thing for another or start modding.

I understand your situation! I have been there too!
My JF v2 is SH3130 and I am not sure if it is 904L bracelet.

As I have understood go with the Noob v7 if you would like to change the parts with gen (Franken). Parts like dial, crystal glass and so.
If you would like to wear it out of the box go with JF or ARF (I am not sure with the BK) - These are pretty good. With both of them you can get a Spongebob bezel insert, I really recommend this on the JF!

My next purchase is Rolex Hulk the Noob v9, here I would like to make a franken with change the crystal glass, date wheel and get a spongebob insert.

Thank you ! it seems to me that the problem is mainly on the Hulk, right?

It isn't. If you name it "a problem" then it affects all models except the ARF-ones. I've never seen them but it's said their bezels look better because of the nearly correct color of engravings. The noobs are more white than platinum-colored.

That looks great. Did the appearance of the bezel numbers change with the mod? The numerals on my V2 (unmodded) look thinner and the corners of the numbers are sharper shape-wise, where you’re are more rounded.
